We need a thin but secure border

I will continue to focus on maintaining a border that ensures our safety and security, while at the same time facilitating trade with our neighbors to the North and South. We need a thin but secure border. In Upstate New York, we understand both the
importance of a strong national defense and the need to maintain a positive relationship with Canada. I believe we can achieve this, and I look forward to working with local officials, port authorities, the Department of Homeland Security and others.
